** CANADA. Two Ontario logs along with US FM DX July 9 under USA [and
non], duplicated here:
94.1 at 1816, classical music. Nothing fits but surely this which does
classical without being so mentioned on WTFDA DB:
CBL-FM 94.1 TORONTO ON CAN VARIETY CBC MUSIC 38.0 420.0 43-38-33
79-23-14 B203 CBC CBC MUSIC No Program Type or Undefined 1764/1096
95.1 at 1831, ``Cool FM``:
CKUE-FM 95.1 CHATHAM ON CAN SOFT AC 95.1 & 100.7 COOL FM 42.0 133.0
42-26-14 82-06-22 CE27 1501/933 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 21800, July 10 at 0627-0629 UT, searching 13m band
for any signals in our summermiddle nightmiddle, this JBA carrier is
the highest, CNR1 jammer listed in EiBi; vs Sound of Hope which would
be on 21799.7. Also: JBA carrier on 21560, BBC MADAGASCAR; q.v. for
16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11670, Monday July 10 at 0633, tonight`s extra prolongation
but Spanish not English, opening repeat of `En Contacto` DX program,
first topic: yagi antennas; later, propagation; S9/+10 direct with
squeal. Something`s always wrong at RHC. WWDXC DX program list shows
0635 on 3 other irr. frequencies including 5040 which seems totally
gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, July 10 at 2158, S9/+10 of dead air direct from RHC
but did not get back after 2200 to check whether Portuguizing for a
change today. By 2310 into Missouri SDR it is modulating Spanish but
sup/torted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460.016, July 10 at 1613, music, presumably
Turkish jammer at typical Emirler offset, S9+10/15 with squeal into
UTwente; while 17480.001, S8/9+15 in talk about Kurdistan, presumably
Dengê Welat, via Uzbekistan? broadly missed by the jammer. By 1658 two
signals making SAH on 17460, no signal on 17480. Earlier in
nightmiddle had JBA signals at 0623 on 17460, 17485 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. Nightmiddle, summermiddle scan of 16m band,
17460-17890, July 10 at 0623-0627 finds 23 carriers from JBA to VG
17640 BBC, 17790 AWR both via Talata. See also KURDISTAN [non] and for
13m, CHINA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SINGAPORE. 12025, July 10 at 1511, BBCWS news in English, S9/S8,
EiBi-listed as Kranji site at 15-19 aiming for Mideast. Site allegedly
to be closed as of July 16 or 23, but already phasing out (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 10 at 2200, VG direct, token English from
SNR, previews after news: more on the Pamplona festival; about Royal
Shakespeare Co. produxion of `As You Like It`; report from Lebanon
about Cervantes Institute activities in Beirut. I heard the first part
2206-2218: getting gored by bulls is only part of the San Fermín
Festival with many other activities. Animal-rights groups have been
unable to stop the bull-run, a major touri$ t attraxion (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, July 10 at 2200, 2219, 2231 chex, zero signal from
VOT English. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28300 CW, July 10 at 2152, K6FRC/B over and over, beacon.
WI5V roster dispenses with the /B, to be assumed, u.o.s.:
28.300 K6FRC C TRACY, CALIFORNIA # 100W, "POGO stick" VERTICAL Freq
change 8 July 09.
28.300 K6FRC/B2 TRACY, CALIFORNIA 10W, VERTICAL Backup transmitter for
K6FRC/B
Now it`s the OSOB, no other beacons to be heard, nor any phone up to
28500. And it`s been quite a while since I`ve detected K6FRC on 13565
which is at a different location, Patterson, allegedly 1.8
milliwatts.
26110 FM, KMK282 at KOVR `13` Stockton/Sacramento, I check for
whenever also on 10m band and have heard no sign of it since March 28.
Frodge-MI had it April 6. Is it ever on any more? --- also no local CB
pirate on 27185 relaying Enid FM stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2198 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 9 at 2018 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 only, S9+10/20
with only lite understation CCI.
Also confirmed UT Monday July 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into
Louisiana SDR - and for first time in long time, NO external noise
blast for first 14 seconds: we can only hope it`s over.
NOT confirmed UT Monday July 10 circa 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160
minus 67 Hz = 6159.933, S7/S9+5 into Maryland SDR, but DEAD AIR.
Webcast? 404 but 7490 air and web are running OK. Does not matter that
there is some ACI from 6165 VOT. Tuned in at 0258 when already dead.
Hope Larry Will is OK. I let both run thru entire unoccupied WOR block
to 0330 and whatever would follow until 0400, when 6160 comes to life
with ID and right into TOMBS. Next:
0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
Thanks this week to John, N9JL: ``Hello Glenn, I routinely listen to
your weekly podcasts, and really enjoy them. You consistently provide
your listeners with a broad cross-section of SW and BC band related
information. In only 30 minutes I know the stations I should be tuning
for over the following several days. Please accept this small
contribution in support of your on-going efforts. 73, John, N9JL,
Lutz, EN51vm, Shorewood IL`` -- with a check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box
1684, Enid OK 73702
One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15150, July 10 at 0619, WMLK booming at S9+30, presumed
DEJOM, denouncing other Yahweh sects who`ve got it all wrong. Ho, hum.
Was originally blasting in like this when I first discovered, but
lately had been quite weak, all depending on propagation, or
operation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock updates us on July 9: hopes to be
back on air this week or next, first 5085, later 9475, as he has been
sales-approaching various ministries. Also is selling some expensive
extra parts to help finance the station for rest of year, such as
twelve only partially ~half-depleted final tubes since Ted mishandled
them. You`re supposed to gradually increase the voltage as time goes
on. KVOH may be buying two of them for Zambia. Could only get $ 200/ton
for scrap metal. BTW, the WTWW building has a fabulous floor (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to
happen! In the not too hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock
caradio with fender vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation
but disfavoring horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real
time with my own ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no
recording, no internet for stream comparisons; but research later from
my scribbled notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in
general searching if needed.
All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP
and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz
and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI.
I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and
am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential learning
experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome. Sunday July 9, all
times strictly UT!
91.5 at 1742, KSNS *still* dead air but some classical music is
off-and-on trying to overcome it. From subsequent probable target area
obs, likely:
WXXO 91.5 ROCHESTER NY HD CLASSICAL CLASSICAL 91.5 45.0 134.0 43-08-07
77-35-03 93C8 WXXI -FM Classical 91.5 WXXI-FM Rochester NY Classical
// WXXY 90.3 & W298CE 107.5 -- and again at 1805. Recently changed
call from WXXI to WXXO. The XXI derived from the now surely irrelevant
old analog channel of its TV station which must have preceded the FM;
altho one might guess it denote our century 1882/1169
94.5 at 1748, 1755, 1804, classical music in mix of others, surely:
WNED-FM 94.5 BUFFALO NY HD CLASSICAL WNED CLASSICAL 94.0 220.5

94.5 at 1750, ad for seabreeze.com on the shore of Lake Ontario,
mentions Rochester. No stations there, but apparently:

Then at 1751 ad for Kia in East Syracuse 1993/1239
94.5 at 1750, mention news network and KNN. Can`t be sure whether this
be one of the more definitely IDed on 94.5. KNN could mean Kentucky
News Network, rather than Kurdistan or Korea. If so there is one
possibility in KY:
WMXL 94.5 LEXINGTON KY HD HOT AC MIX 94.5 85.0 194.0 38-07-24 84-26-37
16B9 Artist/Song - Mix 94.5 Artist/Song - Mix 94.5 Adult Hits
but I have not been able to make any such correlation. There is such a
thing in KY, but no radio affiliate list found. A music station might
incidentally get newscasts from KNN, not worth website mention

97.3 at 1756, hymn VG and very briefly. No format fit in OH; in NY
only two very low power religious teachers. In PA there is one, east
of Pittsburgh; possibly but lowpowered:
WPCL 97.3 SPANGLER PA RELIGIOUS TEACHING WAY TRUTH LIFE RADIO 1.75 kWH

93.3 at 1758, CCI to OKC, Yankee Honda ad, Hometown Rent-to-Own,
mentions Erie PA and 93 -- but no fits for Erie. I seem to get hits
for Yankee Honda in Erie, but real name of dealer there is Bianchi
which I may have misunderstood. Hometown Rent-to-Own rather generic a
name, but top hits are for Jamestown NY and Salamanca NY. I bet it`s
this: Jamestown NY is near Erie PA:

sibling station to WJLB 97.9, which I did NOT hear, but FYI:

Still DX at 1839 but I have to suspend for lunch; resuming at 1901,
only sign of DX is some country atop 95.3 KOKC OKC translator; quit at
1914. Another false alarm checking at 2122-2129, just noting that 91.5
KSNS is *still* dead air.
2221 another session: 99.3 with NASCAR talk over KLOR Ponca; despite
next log, no sports format listed anywhere in VA or FL on 99.3.
94.5 at 2223, rap; 2236 ad for dancing at Main Street Station; in &
out. Top hits on Main Street Station lead to Daytona Beach FL; name
may be too generic, also one in Richmond VA. Both have local 94.5s. VA
closer to earlier PTA; note high power too:

Nothing more, quit at 2245. Keeping an eye on DXMAPs for Es MUFs and
favorable paths, there appear to be some further chances, such as UT
Monday July 10 when I`m back in the DX car at 0309-0315 but nothing
unusual - 91.5 KSNS still deadairing. Likewise July 10 at 2010 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
